Samsung, it's a better tv than the LG you're looking at (even though it's smaller) and samsung arguably makes the best LCD's on the market (toss up between Sony and Samsung)

thats what i have heard.

Samsung, it's just a better brand. Really don't think you can go wrong with it.

have you looked at each in the store? samsung is a great brand LCD, but make sure you see it first side-by-side with the LG

Based on a lot of members posts....the consensus seems to be the Samsung and Sony are 1a and 1b as far as the LCD market goes. I would go with the Sammy as well if the price is right of course...

I just bought the Samsung LN46B530 from Best Buy. I like everything except the lack of a S-Video connection and the remote has to be aimed perfectly for it to work. I use a Harmony remote which works fine with it. Picture looks great to me. Make sure that you get a Korean made one and not a Mexican made one. The Mexican ones have complaints of some having vertical lines. Do a little research on this if you decide to get a Samsung.

Depend budget, panasonic make good plasma, if you just wanted compare samsung and lg, samsung will win in just about every area except in design in the lower end model. lg has one of worst tv in out box color.

Get a floor standing Zenith. Those things last 80 years!

I think that the Samsung will have better processing than the LG, I would also think about trying Sony Bravia.

flickbuff · 11-17-2009, 08:54 AM

I have just recently bought a Samsung. and havent had any complaints about it so far. it is awesome.

BDS23420 · 11-17-2009, 03:48 PM

wow this is a land slide haha i thought maybe it would be closer but i guess not, i mean i have a 32 LG and it works beautiful and has an awesome picture...but i guess samsung is the better choice according to you guys.

Buy what you can afford but if it were me? It would be Sony all the way. Samsung? A close second but if you want reliablity I would go with Sony but thats just me.
